Election redisiricting ...
Disagreement develops
among student senators
by John Dvorak
Junior Staff Writer I
Student senators disagree j
concerning the method of
electing student represent
Uves. A committee appointed by
ASl'N President Dick Schulze j
last semester is studying vari- j
ous methods of electing sen-1
ators. The committee is ex
pected to report to the senate
in March.
The senators currently ap-'
pear to be divided into three
groups of opinion:
Senators who favor dis
trict representation. Under
this plan, campus living units
would be apportioned into sec-
jsaid Albeit Kelber. At the
j University of Missouri, dis
! tricts are set up by living
; units.
Instigation of district repre
sentation has been shrouded
by the possibilities of a Greek-
Independent split over the is

Senators who either want
to modify the present system
of electing representatives
through colleges or leave the
present plan unchanged.
Senators who are unde

trict and college representa

category did not indicate a
possible alternative.
'Election of senators from
living units w ould get students
more acquainted with their
representatives," said Andy
Rasmussen.
Not closely represented
Susie Phelps reports that
some students feel they are
not being represented closely
enough. The district system
has definite possibilities, she
feels.

Possible alterations
Various senators, who want
to keep the present system,
j recommended the alterations
to correct some of the flaws
in college representation:
i Senators should be re
quired to report back to
houses and dormitories.
Senators should set up of
fice hours when they w ould be
available to talk to students.
Students themselves
Several of the senators are
hoping the Redisricting Com
mittee will propose a differ
ent plan altogether.
"I favor a system half way
between district and college
representation a happy med
ium," said Loren Schulze.
Following the Redistricting
Committee's report, most sen
ators expect that a number of
proposed changes in election
procedures will be introduced
in the Senate.
The general feeling 'in the
Senate is that something
should be done. It ap
pears that it any action is
taken, it will probably be
something towards a living
unit type of representation.
